INTRODUCTION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time triptorelin has been reported to cause benign intracranial hypertension. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old Caucasian woman who suffered from chronic menorrhagia was started on triptorelin, a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue. Three days later, she developed gradually worsening headaches accompanied by bilateral visual dist...

Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland is a very rare disease entity as the malignant counterpart of basal cell adenoma. On the basis of morphologic pattern, basal cell adenoma can be divided into four subtypes; trabecular, solid, tubular, and dermal analogue (membranous). We report a case of basal cell adenocarcinoma in the left parotid gland of a 33-year-old woman. Light microscopica...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of right posterior subcapsular cataract induced by 3-monthly depot luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue therapy in a patient with early prostate cancer. CASE PRESENTATION A 52-year-old male with static myopia of several years' duration was given a 3-month depot LHRH analogue (goserelin 10.8 mg) as part of neoadjuvant treatment for early prostate can...

This paper presents some laboratory tests carried out to measure the BER degradation caused by an analogue PAL-G television interference on a COFDM 8K digital television signal. The tests made include co-channel and both upper and lower adjacent channel interference situations. Recently this year, the ITU-R has presented some protection ratios to be sought when planning DVB-T networks. The resu...

An implementation of a design for a game based virtual learning environment is described. The game is developed for a course in analogue electronics, and the topic is the design of a power supply. This task can be solved in a number of different ways, with certain constraints, giving the students a certain amount of freedom, although the game is designed not to facilitate trial-anderror approac...

The Tasman International Geospace Environment Radar (TIGER), which is part of the global SuperDARN network, is a dual HF radar system with overlapping footprints designed to map ionospheric motions by detecting ionospheric scatter. The stereo SuperDARN radar concept is an interesting new innovation that effectively enables two radars to operate from the one site, sharing expensive infrastructur...

Kauli, R., and Laron, Z. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 482. A vasopressin analogue in treatment of diabetes insipidus. Six children, 3 adolescents, and 3 adults with vasopressin-sensitive diabetes insipidus were treated with a vasopressin analogue, DDAVP (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin), at a daily dose ranging from 5 to 20 ,ug administered twice a day intranasally. The peri...
